Chapter 320 You Want to Rebel?

Ning Yao's pistol has a unique design and its bullets have a faster rate of fire than the most advanced firearms in China.

In a flash, Ning Jinli tilted her head slightly.

The bullet grazed her right cheek by half a centimeter, leaving a burn mark even though it didn't directly hit her face.

As she dodged the bullets, Ning Yao simultaneously threw two three-inch-long throwing knives with her other hand.

Two throwing knives were aimed at Ning Shan and Ye Zhi Qiu's hearts respectively.

Ye Zhi Qiu's martial arts skills were superior to Ning Shan's, and his emergency reaction speed was even faster, so he tackled Ning Shan without hesitation.

*Pfft*

Ye Zhi Qiu dodged the knife flying towards him, but in order to protect Ning Shan, he used his own body to block the knife flying towards him.

Almost the entire blade was embedded in her right shoulder.

All of this happened too fast.

Ning Jinli didn't even have time to stop it.

Seeing that Ning Yao was about to attack again, Ning Jinli threw a punch.

Lu Xingfeng quickly stepped forward and used his mechanical arm to open an energy shield shaped like a shield.

boom!

Lu Xingfeng and Ning Hai and his daughter were unharmed, but behind them, the tables and chairs were smashed and the walls collapsed where Ning Jinli's fist had swept through, leaving a mess.

When they came to their senses, they found that there was no one there.

"When did Ning Jinli become so amazing?" Ning Yao was taken aback.

"Daughter! Why did you try to kill the Ning family?!" Ning Hai roared. "Who told you to do this?!"

Da da da!!

Special forces soldiers disguised as restaurant employees launched an attack.

A dense hail of bullets hurtled towards the three men.

However, the world's most advanced firearms are no more than toys in the face of Ninghai's high technology.

In an instant, Lu Xingfeng expanded the energy shield into a spherical shape, completely covering himself and Ning Hai and his daughter, making it impossible for bullets to penetrate.

Ning Hai didn't take the attack seriously at all, and just glared angrily at his daughter, "When we get back, you'd better explain this to me properly!"

With a casual wave of his mechanical arm, Lu Xingfeng's energy shield rapidly expanded, forming a devastating shockwave that instantly leveled the entire small restaurant.

Almost simultaneously, a triangular aircraft flew over, automatically opened its hatch, and carried the three people inside. In an instant, it took off and flew back to the pyramid-shaped mothership in mid-air.

The combat squadron, which was hidden near the small restaurant, didn't even have time to launch an attack before the huge pyramid-shaped flying object disappeared into the clouds.

The gap between their military technology and that of the other side is so vast that they can only look on in despair.

Meanwhile, Ning Jinli instantly opened a time portal between two worlds and returned to the Chinese National Command Center with her parents.

Ye Zhi Qiu was also taken to the operating room immediately.

The surgery went smoothly. The throwing knife pierced her back three inches deep, but fortunately it did not hit her heart. In addition, she had internal energy to protect her, and she would recover after a period of rest.

Ning Shan stayed with Ye Zhi Qiu in the hospital room, while Ning Jin Li spent some time with her parents before going to the conference room to meet Shangguan Ying.

“Sister Ying, I’m so sorry,” Ning Jinli said remorsefully, “According to our plan, after I figured out the purpose of the Descent Celestial Venerable, I should have captured him…”

Shangguan Ying gently patted Ning Jinli's shoulder, "It's okay. No one expected Ning Yao to suddenly turn on your family. It's already a good thing that you and your parents are back."

Ning Jinli's face was filled with deep solemnity. "I really didn't expect that the Heavenly Venerable who descended was Ning Hai, and even Ning Yao's skills have become so formidable."

Shangguan Ying said, "They have mastered time travel technology and used the theory of time displacement to develop a full century longer than us before returning to this world. Their personnel combat capabilities and technological level are far ahead of ours."

"Sister Ying... I..." Ning Jinli couldn't hold back anymore, her eyes reddening and tears welling up, "The World No. 1 that we've always wanted to find was destroyed by Ning Hai, and even Xiao Qidi..."

Shangguan Ying opened her arms and embraced Ning Jinli.

Ning Jinli finally burst into tears.

She once thought that she must bring those hundreds of scientific research experts back, and that she must see Xiao Qidi again.

But the hope that lingered in my heart was completely shattered...

Shangguan Ying gently patted her back, pondering as she said, "Perhaps the parallel world Ninghai went to isn't the first world you thought it was?"

Ning Jinli was taken aback and looked up. "But Lu Xingfeng is from World 1. If Ning Hai didn't go to World 1, how come the two of them are together?"

“I can’t answer that question either,” Shangguan Ying continued. “However, even if Ning Hai really went to World 1 and has already ruled everything and plundered all the resources there, I still believe that Xiao Qidi from World 1 is still alive.”

Ning Jinli's pupils widened. "Sister Ying, why would you say that?"

“He is not only still alive, but you will definitely see him again someday in the future,” Shangguan Ying said confidently. “Just believe me.”

Ning Jinli initially thought the other person was trying to comfort her, but judging from their expression and tone, they were stating something very certain.

Moreover, Shangguan Ying had never told her a single lie.

Ning Jinli quickly wiped away her tears, a renewed hope rekindling in her heart. "I believe you, but why are you so sure, Sister Ying?"

“You’ll find out later,” Shangguan Ying said softly, wiping away her tears. “Alright, let’s cheer up. Ning Hai can use the theory of spacetime displacement, and so can we. Although it’s full of uncertainties, it’s our only hope. Next, I will do everything I can to hold off Ning Hai’s attack and buy time for you and the repair project team’s experiments. Jinli, let’s cheer each other on.”

"Yes!" Ning Jinli nodded vigorously.

——

Ning Hai and his daughter, along with Lu Xingfeng, returned to the massive headquarters mothership.

The three of them looked unwell, each preoccupied with their own thoughts.

"Xingfeng, you go out first, I want to talk to Yaoyao." Ning Hai asked Lu Xingfeng to leave as soon as he entered the hall.

"Yes." Lu Xingfeng glanced at Ning Yao and quickly left.

Ning Hai slammed his cane to the ground, angrily pointed at Ning Yao's nose, and roared, "Speak! What exactly are you up to!"

Ning Yao is over 130 years old. She has never heard her father say a harsh word to her since she was a child, but today, her father scolded her repeatedly.

Her eyes were red, her fists clenched, and she gritted her teeth as she said, "Dad, you weren't like this before."

Ning Hai paused for a moment, took a few deep breaths, and softened his tone a bit. "I'm sorry... it was Dad's fault. I couldn't control my emotions. Yao Yao, tell Dad, what's wrong with you today?"

Ning Yao lowered her eyes, her voice tinged with dissatisfaction, "Do you really want to reconcile with Ning Jinli's family that much? I know you're getting old and starting to miss family ties, but Dad, you have me! I'll always be by your side, isn't that enough? You have me... isn't that enough?"

"Sigh..." Ning Hai sighed deeply. "Daughter, you will always be the most important person to me. But everyone has to die eventually. I'm so old now. Even if I can cure my illness with the medical methods of the original world, I won't live much longer. Then you won't have anyone by your side. I want to try to make peace with Ning Shan's family. It's not just because I'm starting to miss my family in my old age, but also because I want you to still have blood relatives by your side after I'm gone. Ning Shan's family are good people. As long as they can forgive what I did in the past, they won't abandon you."

"Do I need their help?" Ning Yao wouldn't listen at all and shouted, "I haven't considered them family for a long time! I don't need them!"

“Daughter…” Ning Hai stretched out his hands.

Ning Yao slapped his hand away. "Dad, if you still want to see them again, I'll sever all ties with you!"

After saying that, she walked away without looking back.

"Daughter... Yao Yao..." Ning Hai panicked and shouted at her back, "Ning Yao! You stop right there!"

Ning Yao paused for a moment, but still stormed out of the hall.

Ning Hai groaned, clutching his chest and collapsing to the ground. Blood slowly trickled from beneath his golden mask.

Ning Yao arrived at the hall entrance, and Lu Xingfeng said in a low voice, "Yao Yao, I..."

"Shut up, I don't want to hear your explanation." Ning Yao glared back fiercely with eyes as sharp as knives.

She was really angry today.

Despite her wishes, her father insisted on meeting with Ning Jinli's family and even tried to mend their relationship.

Lu Xingfeng clearly still cares about Ye Zhi Qiu, but he has been deceiving her all along.

Moreover, the father and Lu Xingfeng also had a conflict because of this family.

Ultimately, all the problems would be solved if Ning Jinli and her family of three were killed. That's why she suddenly launched her attack.

Unfortunately, even that sudden sneak attack failed.

This made her even angrier.

"Yao Yao!" Lu Xingfeng grabbed Ning Yao's shoulders tightly. "I admit, I still have feelings for Ye Zhi Qiu, but those feelings are different from my feelings for you! I want to get revenge on her and make her submit to me! But I love you! Can't you understand that?!"

"I don't need to understand!" Ning Yao said angrily. "In short, you have another woman in your heart, and I can't tolerate any feelings, no matter what they are! Besides, you deceived me! Let go of me!"

Lu Xingfeng's face turned pale and then red, and he didn't know how to explain anymore, so he could only continue to hold on.

Ning Yao sneered angrily, "It's over between us. Don't keep pestering me. My father was right, someone like you can only be used as a tool, not trusted! From now on, you better behave yourself and know your place! Otherwise, I will execute you with the highest level of punishment from the Descent Legion!"

Lu Xingfeng's pupils suddenly contracted. "You... what did you say? Your father only used me as a tool?"

"Otherwise what?" Ning Yao pried his hands off. "Who do you think you are! Get out of here, and don't show your face in front of me again without my permission!"

After saying these hurtful words, Ning Yao didn't look at him again and strode away.

Lu Xingfeng's eyes turned bloodshot, and killing intent surged within him. As Ning Yao walked away, he pushed open the hall door and came to Ning Hai with a fierce aura.

Ning Hai slumped to the ground, his body hunched over. It wasn't until Lu Xingfeng stood in front of him for a while that he came to his senses, struggled to lift his head, and reached out his hand, saying, "Help me up..."

"What, can my tool also serve as a crutch?" Lu Xingfeng said coldly, arms crossed, looking down at him.

Ning Hai looked up. "What do you mean?"

“It doesn’t mean anything,” Lu Xingfeng’s eyes flashed with cold light. “You’re old, starting to get confused, and no longer suitable to lead the Descent Legion.”

"Lu Xingfeng... do you want to rebel?" Ning Hai's tone also turned cold.

"Hahahaha!" Lu Xingfeng laughed loudly, "Originally, I thought that even if I had to be subordinate to you, it would still be acceptable to be a hegemon in the land of China in that world. However, you have completely hollowed out that world, turning it into a dead star. How can I still be a hegemon?"

Ning Hai sneered, "You think you're worthy of replacing me? Kid, you have no ability to rule the whole world."

"Whether you have the ability or not is not up to you to decide!" Lu Xingfeng became increasingly angry and used the mechanical arm to grab Ning Hai's face, lifting him off the ground.

Crack...

A series of fine cracking sounds rang out.

The golden mask, crafted from special materials, crumbled into pieces, constantly falling through Lu Xingfeng's fingers.

Ning Hai's face, covered with twisted blood vessels and with only a thin, translucent layer of skin, was also exposed to the air.

"Tsk tsk, you look really ugly!" Lu Xingfeng mocked as he gradually increased his strength.

Without the protection of the special mask, Ning Hai's face was in excruciating pain as if it were being ripped apart by a knife, but he still smiled and said, "Lu Xingfeng, I gave you your life, I gave you this arm that's gripping me, and I gave you all the good days you've had for the past hundred years. And now you treat me like this... You're heartless, worse than a pig or a dog... I knew I hadn't misjudged you from the beginning."

"You're asking for it!" Lu Xingfeng was furious. His cold, hard fingertips slowly dug into Ning Hai's forehead and cheek.

Just as he was about to crush Ning Hai's head, his mechanical arm suddenly went out of his control and slowly lowered Ning Hai down.

"What...what's going on?!" Lu Xingfeng exclaimed in shock.

No matter how hard he tried, the mechanical arm just hung there, unable to move even a single finger.

“Heh…hehe…” Ning Hai, sitting on the ground, let out a hoarse laugh. “Didn’t I tell you? I gave you your mechanical arm. To protect you, I implanted a hidden chip in the arm from the very beginning. Later, every time I upgraded your mechanical arm, I also upgraded the control system.”

"You old scoundrel!" Lu Xingfeng cursed, then punched Ning Hai with his other fist.

But the next second, the mechanical arm gripped his real hand, preventing him from attacking.

"You old bastard!" Lu Xingfeng's face turned ashen. "How on earth did you manage to control my hand?!"

Ning Hai laboriously raised his right index finger, gently touched his head, and said smugly:

“I’ve installed a matching chip here, which allows me to send commands to your robotic arm using brainwaves. And once I die, your robotic arm will take you with it. But for now, it seems we won’t have to wait until the day I die.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xingfeng's mechanical arm snapped off his real wrist, then gripped his throat, and a directional micro-bomb inside the mechanical arm, powerful enough to turn him into mincemeat, began to activate...
